Your journey from Queenstown takes you along the edge of Lake Wakatipu beneath the rugged Remarkables to Te Anau for a morning tea break (own expense). You'll then enter the Fiordland National Park, pausing at the Mirror Lakes before passing through the Hollyford Valley. The road then climbs to enter the Homer Tunnel, emerging above the CleddauValley before descending to Milford Sound.
Carved by a massive glacier in the last ice age, Milford Sound is one of the most treasured regions of the World HeritageFiordland National Park. The best way to check out the heart-stopping, pristine scenery, towering peaks, waterfalls and marine and bird life is aboard a Milford Sound Red Boat. While cruising, you'll enjoy a full commentary about the rich history and environment of the Sound.
